Diabetic Ulcers

Diabetic ulcers are open sores or wounds that develop on the skin, commonly on the feet or legs, due to complications of diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels, reducing sensation and blood flow, which makes injuries less noticeable and harder to heal. Over time, minor cuts or blisters can become infected or progress into chronic sores if not properly cared for. Managing blood sugar levels, practicing good foot hygiene, and seeking prompt medical attention are essential to prevent and treat diabetic ulcers effectively.
